M&S The White One Chocolate Bar Review

-

I've already tried The Milk One from Marks & Spencer so this time I thought I should go to the light side and try The White One...I've heard good things about this bar and wanted to see if it'd live up to my expectations. I do love a good quality white chocolate, though they're hard to find these days at a reasonable price.

This is described simply as a solid creamy white chocolate bar, abd is suitable for vegetarians. I paid around 30p for it reduced but it's usually around 60p (I think!)


The blocks have a curved design, similar to the one Cadbury Dairy Milk now use for their small bars. Each block has the M&S logo helpfully printed on, to make sure you know this isn't just any white chocolate, it's M&S white chocolate!


I have to say I was very impressed with this bar...the chocolate is the perfect balance of creamy, milky and sweet without being too sickly sweet (like Milkybar can be nowadays). I complained that The Milk One was rather boring, but this one is a total contrast (at least to my tastebuds). I'd happily buy one of these again instead of a Milkybar for a White choccy fix.

Overall, this is a pretty good quality white chocolate if you're after something creamy and not as sweet as Milkybar. You pay a bit more but it's worth it :)

8 out of 10.

    I believe Thornton's make chocolate for M&S which may explain the clearance if the agreement is coming to an end since Ferrero acquired the Somercotes confectioner.

Pringles Salted Egg Review

Another weird snack and this time it’s Salted Egg Flavour Pringles! These are apparently popular in other parts of the word so maybe not as weird as they may seem to us Brits... and they’re actually not so bad! Not as eggy as I expected - I had visions of an awful gaseous pong coming from the tub, haha! - but just a slight salty egg flavour.   If you’re curious, find them from www.gbgifts.co.uk (gifted).

Asda Tinned Banana Blossom Review

-

Recently, I spotted a totally new vegetable/fruit (not sure which it actually is!) in Asda called Banana Blossom in a tin. It was next to the tins of Jackfruit which is a well known vegan meat alternative. I assumed it was a similar thing so happily bought some to try - it’s £1.50 a tin. The image on the wrapper looked innocent enough - battered fish pieces, only vegan! Surely this stuff must be good? Turns out that packaging was very misleading because nothing could prepare me for the horror that was lurking inside...when I opened the tin it was like opening something from a horror film, discovering the mouldy body of an ancient alien creature or other such evil. It looked hideous!! “Surely this is not meant for human consumption?!”, I thought. Heck it’s not even suitable for bird consumption....I think flies would even turn their nose up at this thing, which looked like rotten infested seaweed. When I posted this on my  Instagram  page the responses were predictably

Lidl Way To Go Fin Carre Ethical Chocolate

-

I recently spotted some new funky looking bars in Lidl, and instantly they reminded me of Tony’s Chocolonely bars, the ethical brand that launched last year donating money to helping end slavery in cocoa production. I’ve always loved the Tony’s brand and I think in 2020, more than ever, we need more ethically produced products - it should be expected, let’s be honest! So it’s always nice to see another brand like this even if it’s essentially copying Tony’s. I got the dark chocolate version to try as I was curious how it would be compared to other dark chocolates. In hindsight this was a mistake, as the actual chocolate is nothing extraordinary. It’s nice enough and good quality don’t get me wrong but it has no particular distinct flavour to make me buy it again. I’ll certainly try the other two flavours which are Milk Chocolate and Almond and Sea Salt, and I do like the chunky haphazard block design that mimics Tony’s Chocolonely. It’s a shame through that Lidl don’t just stock
